[QUOTE="AJ, post: 3963, member: 543"] From my experience there’s no set time period. It’s like how long is a piece of string. Using STAR is a good start, but you’ll need however long you need. I wouldn’t worry about the timing of your answer. Just come up with good examples for the competencies. No bad thing in being concise. But few things to consider. Don’t waffle and dilute the content of your answer. No need to speak for the sake of being heard in a one to one interview. From my experience the interviewer will direct the interview and do most of the talking. Focus more on developing a rapport with the interviewer. And really getting across your experience of the the competencies they’re looking for. Final point don’t be too rehearsed in your answers and delivery. I’ve heard that be counted against friends and personally had interviewers start of with the typical questions and then as the interview went on amend the way they asked the questions. [/QUOTE]
